Kenny,NHRA is a NON PROFIT,one stipulation according to the Wikipedia site is that the top people
do not make excessive salaries.From the info posted they are payed way too much according to the guidelines.
Wanna call it a class war?Call it what you want.These guys are slowly killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Please Dave spell my name right,you left out the second N.

From Wikipedia:
A primary difference between a nonprofit and a for-profit corporation is that a nonprofit does not issue stock or pay dividends, (for example, The Code of the Commonwealth of Virginia includes the Non-Stock Corporation Act that is used to incorporate nonprofit entities) and may not enrich its directors. However, like for-profit corporations, nonprofits may still have employees and can compensate their directors within reasonable bound.

Ed, I'm a Bosox fan.

Don,any way of substanciating what you say about the suits making sacrifices?I'm sure all us malcontents would like to see it in black and white,not gray like the rule book.

Kenny,Englishtown is probably the only time you'll see me this year.

Ed, who decides what is excessive. Ed, you and me are friends and this is not personal. I just think that some members do not know all the facts. If you are right, I will be the first to say I was wrong. But I think we need less anger and nastiness and more respect.

I made the mistake of taking litteraly the comments about everything being doubled. They aren't. Should have taken time to read it all. I'm old and slow, and I'm from Oklahoma. Please forgive me. After reading it, I can't see a problem absorbing the difference. I'll re-up when the time comes and keep running both associations as long as I can keep doing it. I don't really have a preference between the two. I like them both. It appears Div 4 lost a couple of very good tech men. I really hate that.

Ed;

Call them and ask them

After reading this thread,I'm wondering if the true non profit status of NHRA , should be questioned ? It must have a board of directors or trustees and who or how are they elected. The employees of NHRA must have to answer to them. If NHRA was set up as a board only non profit , then these people call the shots. Shoudn't we know how this works ,if we all are members of this non profit. I doubt if this was set up so that the members have a say, which would have been nice since this is suppose to be for the racers! I just think we should know more about how this is run before we can understand what is happening. It is a disgrace that we pay to be members,to have comp#,to cert. our cars and pay to race and have absolutely NO say in what this NON-PROFIT(which was formed for our benefit) does. thanks Bob

Yeah,I'm sure they're sitting next to the phone waiting for my call.I take it they made you privy to their
salary reductions?

Kenny,no anger I still love you.What's your opinion of the fact that salaries should be reasonable.Do you think that with all the enhancements sportsman racer have endured in the last few years that their salaries
are justified?

Ed,

I do not have the right to tell anyone what they can make. I would think whatever the NHRA board feels is fair. I'm not upset that Tom Comptom makes good money. I wish I had what it takes to command that kind of coin.

I'm sorry Ed, telling me or anyone how much money you can make is just not right.

NHRA and Tom Compton might not be doing the right thing according to you an other members, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt until I know all the facts.

I feel NHRA is doing the best they can given the circumstance we are in, and I will continue to support them. If that makes members angry with me, I am sorry, but thats how I feel.

Kenny;
I just pointed out to you what some of the parameters are in the structure of a Non Profit are.The IRS
can review their salaries and yank the Non Profit status if they find them excessive.Then we are in real trouble.If they have to pay taxes I wouldn't want to guess what fees and entries would go up to.
